First of all this is for my first PC build, bought everything off NewEgg and everything worked perfect!! Anyways, I need to buy some upgrades desperatley so here is some items I will be picking up frist, then Ill do another 4gbs of Ram(6 total) and a nice quad core cpu!

Keeping those items in mind here is what I'm looking at. Specifically let me know about the PSU...will this handle my cpu, ram, and an 8800GS?

Any other questions let me know =)

Considering some of the technology coming out these days, I'd just wait and save up for a better power supply. Corsair has some really nice ones. Also, modular power supplies have issues so I would stay away from them. And for the 8800GS...any nvidia card with GS or GTS are generally cheaper versions of the GT/GTX. I have a GTX260 and it's great.

Im upgrading from a 500W psu that came with my case, its a piece. and a 5 or 6 year old 80GB hard drive(thats full right now)
and yeah Im slowly upgrading right now, my graphics cards will be on the list soon. but really I only play wow and counterstrike and it does a great job with those games...

Anyway, I was talking to some friends and have decided to do a corsair for sure!
